Grantourismo in Scotland

Haggis, whisky and porridge in Edinburgh

The last destination on the Grantourismo itinerary was Edinburgh, where Lara and Terry spent two weeks in January in a lovely apartment in Stockbridge, just a ten-minute stroll from the centre of the city. During their stay, the team experienced the best of Edinburgh through its picturesque landscape, friendly people, Scottish cuisine and bewildering array of whiskies.Read all Lara and Terry's posts on their trip to Scotland

Edinburgh

Once a working class suburb that evolved into a rather bohemian neighbourhood, Stockbridge, the location of Lara and Terry's 'home away from home' in Edinburgh, is like a little village, with charming old shop-fronts that are home to traditional pubs, cafés, speciality food stores, charity shops as well as book and music stores. The couple's stay in Edinburgh coincided with the birthday of Scotland’s poet Robert Burns, when Burns Suppers are held all over the country, so the Grantourismo team were lucky to experience this traditional Scottish celebration at a cosy traditional pub on the Royal Mile.

Property 452950 - Lara and Terry's 'HomeAway from home' in Edinburgh was a Georgian ground floor apartment, located in Stockbridge to the north of Princes Street. The apartment is accessed between two of the grand Doric columns which are the unifying motif of the Crescent’s beautiful façade. It is compact, convenient, and well designed. Completely refurbished in late 2008, the apartment is also freshly decorated with neutral Farrow and Ball paints.
